There is no prohibition against divorce in the Torah. Although the husband has to initiate divorce according to Jewish law, in cases of abuse, the husband can be forced to do so.
The exception regarding no prohibition against divorce is that a husband can't divorce his wife due to illness or inability to have children.

Does decree and divorce mean the same thing in the bible?
According to the Torah, divorce is accomplished simply by writing a bill of divorce (this is what you refer to as the decree), handing it to the wife, and sending her away. It is not necessary for a husband to personally hand the document to the wife. Incidentally, a civil divorce is not sufficient to dissolve a Jewish marriage. As far as Jewish law is concerned, a couple remains married until the woman receives the bill of divorce.
